Helvada Cigars

The series offers a small selection of characterful cigars that were originally created for the Swiss market and have now found their place in Germany as well. They are ideal for aficionados who enjoy discovering new stylistic approaches, as each vitola offers its own interpretation of the Nicaraguan tobacco profile. The blend is intentionally varied from format to format, allowing for a diverse range of flavor impressions.

Origins of the Swiss Series

Behind the cigars are Swiss retailer Daniel Schwiz and seasoned blender Kurt Brandt, known for his work on brands such as Flor Real and Isthmus. Through the “Crazy Store” run by Jürgen Ring, the vitolas eventually made their way to the Kleinlagel siblings in Germany – a fine example of how personal connections can open doors to new flavor experiences. Since we aim to carry every series that is legally (!) available in Germany, we naturally offer these Helvada Cigars in our assortment as well. At present, our specialist retail colleague Steffen Brinkmann distributes these cigars from Nicaragua.

Vitolas With Distinct Character

The formats differ significantly: A slimmer vitola features a clear, dry draw that highlights the spicy notes of the Nicaraguan tobacco. A more robust format emphasizes earthy tones and a calm, dense smoke texture. The more compact vitolas feel more accessible and offer a rounded flavor profile, making them suitable for shorter indulgent moments.
